2501 Carleton St SW

A double lot graced with mature trees offers a lush building site in the heart of Mount Royal. The space of more than 11,000 square feet can accommodate a large estate home or two homes; an astute investor could hold these 2 lots on separate titles. While the undeveloped lane at the rear of the property backs onto a heavily treed hillside blocking the view of neighboring houses to the west, the house to the south sits on much higher ground that this property. This lucky coincidence creates extreme back yard privacy - a sanctuary of dabbled sunlight, bird song and humming pollinators. The absence of a back alley reduces the risk of strangers transiting behind the property and allows the convenience of a driveway from the front street. The existing house is a charming 1910 home with some clever architectural renovations and innovations from the 1970's. It is rented long-term and is being offered "as is".
